Translation File : DM-28 Battle Galaxy (to be updated; this is done up by Ryoma_Echizen and will be further edited with compatible names by me )

Rules Primer for DM-28There are many new mechanics introduced in DM-28 because it is the first set in the block. Also the cross gear card type returns so I will go over it as well.

Cross Gears all have the following text: “Put this card in the battle zone when cast. To cross this card with a creature, pay this card's cost again. When that creature leaves the battle zone, this card remains in the battle zone.” Whenever I have the “ –Cross Gear” text that’s what it means. Cross is just another word for “equip”.

When you pay the cross gear’s cost again to cross, remember that you need to have at least 1 mana of each of the colors of that cross gear. So to cross a fire cross gear you need to pay at least 1 fire mana to cross it with another creature.

Cross Gears stay on the respective creature(s) when it is evolved/linked or in the cases of Royal Durian/Soul Phoenix devolved.

There are some creatures in this set with “Accelerator” abilities that activate when they are crossed with cross gears.

There are multiple evolution creatures that evolve from the mana zone in this set. Simply put the mana evolution creature on top of the indicated card(s) in your mana zone and put the stack into the battle zone. For Mana Vortex and Mana Galaxy Vortex evolutions put the cards to be evolved into a stack and place the corresponding Mana Vortex or Mana Galaxy Vortex on top of them.

There is a new mechanic “Shield Plus” in this set. It means to put the top card of your deck under one of your shields. Each stack is still 1 shield but it when broken you get all the cards in the stack and you can activate Shield Trigger should any of the cards have that ability. However be careful as not all Shield Plus creatures activate upon summon. Some activate their Shield Plus ability on attack or destruction. There is no limit to the amount of cards that can be under a shield so go crazy.

There is one creature with “Super Shield Plus” Unlike Shield Plus you put the top card of your deck under each shield so if you have 5 shields you would put 5 cards in total underneath your shields with 1 card going under each shield. Don’t deck yourself.

There is a new mechanic “Shield Force” in this set. When you put a Shield Force creature into the battle zone you choose a shield and as long as that shield remains in play that creature has that Shield Force ability. Once the SF creature loses its ability due to a shield break it can’t be regained unless you put that SF creature into the battle zone again and re-choose a shield. To make things easy on everyone put the SF creature in front of the shield you chose for it.

There is a new mechanic “Samurai Generation” in this set. Creatures with this ability allow you to generate a cross gear into the battle zone for free upon their being put into the battle zone. Generate just means to put a cross gear into the battle zone.

There are new creature types “Samurai” and “Knight” in this set. They differ from normal creature types because the Samurai type appears on certain cross gears and the Knight type appears on certain spells. This means if a card lets you search for a Samurai or Knight card you can choose a Knight spell or a Samurai cross gear.

There is an ability on Knight spells called “Knight Magic” it lets you use the spell effect of that spell once more if you have a Knight in the battle zone. For example if the spell effect is to draw 2 cards and you have a Knight in the battle zone you would draw 4 cards. There is a creature in this set that lets you use your KM abilities an additional time. Should you have this creature in the battle zone you would draw 6 cards.

Many creatures have zany prefixes or suffixes to their names. I don’t know why WoTC decided to up this count but I thought I should mention it. ------------Duel Masters Set 28 (Battle Galaxy) Translation FileVersion 0.99 (no flavor) Completed: June 14th, 2008Translation by Ryoma Echizen (aka Jouiba)
